Memories by Bryan Millington, Sleaford, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

When I was a lad of 15/16, I had started playing junior rugby league in and around Warrington.

I joined Warrington RLFC and when going to Wilderspool stadium for my intro into the trainng programme. The first person I met as I walked down a corridor to the changing rooms was Albert Johnson, the renowned left winger, who was a regular with England.

He could see that I was new and came over put his arm round my shoulder and took me to the changing room and left me to get changed.

When I went out on to the pitch, there was Albert, talking to Brian Bevan, whom I had been watching from the side walls for the previous year or two.

He actually introduced me to the great man. I was speechless. Day 1 talking to two legends of rugby league.

I will never forget that moment.
